There are still scattered Waramunt Imperial Marks circulating, ancient gold coins minted by the Waramunt Imperium - stamped in gold with the image of Veremund, God of Law and Order.

The historic assembly, celebrated as the "Silver Summit", reached an accord. Silver was set as the standard for coinage (given that much of the world's gold remained in mines far below, on the now inhospitable surface.)
